  2. 1. Physiological roles of amyloid precursor protein in vivo - zebrafish as a model

    Author : Jasmine Chebli; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Amyloid-beta precursor protein; amyloid precursor protein-b; zebrafish; physiological functions; development; trigeminal ganglia; ependyma; cilia; proteomics; translational adaptation;

    Abstract : Amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP) is an evolutionarily conserved transmembrane protein expressed in many different tissues. APP belongs to a gene family consisting of two other APP-like proteins (APLP1 and APLP2). READ MORE

  4. 2. Acute pancreatitis - Cellular response and dynamic inflammatory changes

    Author : Marwan Dib; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Veterinary medicine:surgery; inflammatory mediators.; adhesion molecules; endothelial barrier dysfunction; inflammatory response; mast cell; abdominal sepsis; Acute pancreatitis; physiology; pathology; clinical studies; Veterinärmedicin:kirurgi; fysiologi; patologi; kliniska studier;

    Abstract : Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common disorder where underlying mechanisms for the local initiating events in the pancreas, the systemic dissemination of the inflammatory response and the remote organ dysfunction still are unclear. The aim of the present study was to further characterize the dynamics and sequence of the immune response in AP, and to determine the cellular origin of the initiating events. READ MORE

  5. 3. Regulation of eukaryotic cell physiology using organic bioelectronics

    Author : Karl Svennersten; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The field of organic bioelectronics deals with the implementation of conducting polymer science in biology and medicine. The purpose of this thesis was to develop organic bioelectronic devices for the regulation of eukaryotic cell physiology. READ MORE

  6. 4. Vascular effects of prostacyclin in cat skeletal muscle and in the traumatised rat brain

    Author : Peter Bentzer; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; reflection coefficient; cerebral blood flow; hydraulic conductivity; oedema; capilary filtration coefficient; endothelin-1; ATP-dependent potassium channels; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    Abstract : Disturbances in microvascular function may be important for tissue damage in many disease states. Prostacyclin, a substance produced by endothelial cells, is important for the maintenance of normal vascular homeostasis and is a potential drug for treatment of microvascular dysfunction, but indications and optimal dosage remains to be established.

  7. 5. Imaging studies of cell physiology with particular reference to Na,K-ATPase function

    Author : Ronnie M Andersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Na; K-ATPase; PKA; PKC; ouabain; cell attachment; Ca2 ; RVD; fluorescence lifetime;

    Abstract : The membrane protein Na,K-ATPase is well known for its critical function of transporting sodium out of the cell and potassium into the cell, thereby creating a fundamental electrochemical gradient upon which several other important cell functions are dependent. In the current study we have investigated novel aspects of Na,K-ATPase function in cell physiology. READ MORE
